It's usually the guys with the red / black / silver / white cars that say stuff like that. I mean, you really could not say my BPM '98 WS6 wasn't a rare 4th gen F-body. Unless you happened to have a red '98 Formula 'vert, that is.

No matter what car you're talking about... there's always some oddballs.

that's what i'm saying. and i'm not saying my car is "crazy rare" and Mr. Meent thinks it to (i do appreciate your sarcasm, sir). Its not the total number of options a car has compared to another, its just the weird combinations

oh and Wheels, cool story brah i'd love to see it

ROM (96U) paint is the rarest feature of your car, only 100 '97 Formulas made in that color. Don't know the combo of all your options, but here's a breakdown of '97 Formula coupes:

Total '97 Formulas Coupes: 2716*
w/ A4: 1743
w/ T-tops: 1785
w/ 96U ROM: 100

Note these are from CompNine's database, which may be missing a few '97 production units. Another source indicates that 2766 '97 Formula coupes were built. To take these #s w/ a grain of salt.

Ok so … I have a 95 formula . It has the TA wing . The wing is factory , it has never been off the car . As far as other things , the car has had a complete 01 int swap so the rpo codes and any badging it might have had is gone . I've been told that the TA wing wasn't an option on a formula . The car was a or had been to G2 Motorsports in Dallas at some point . And all the vin says is it a formula/trans am ( yes I know they have the same vin code ) any one know ? I was told it was a formula GT but I can't find I listed for a 95 .

How do you know the wing was never off the car? So much else had been swapped, why not the hatch?

Best to get a RPO listing for your car, CompNine might be able to help, or a GM dealership, based on the car's VIN. Then look for W66 to confirm that it is in fact a Formula. Then look for T43, which is the uplift T/A wing. CompNine's data base indicates that exactly zero '95 Formulas (W66) left the factory with the T43 spoiler. I'm pretty sure thats what GM will tell you too once you get your RPO listing from your VIN.

798 w/ Lt Beigh Leather

COULD u help abt this one 96 white trans am a4 vin: 2G2FV22P6T2214113 thx

There is no socket marks or wrench marks on the nuts holding the deck lid on . And don't seem r to be any on the wing . Maybe they just changed the wing and not the complete deck lid . What is comp 9 ? I really would like to know what all the car came with . The vin is right for a formula . It specifies formula/Trans Am

Murd450

Well I've seen some of the rpo codes . I got a friend faxing them to me . My car is a W66 / WS9 . Can't wait to see the rest

Its not hard to prevent marks on bolts when swapping parts. Restorers do it all the time. I'm not positive since I don't own a coupe, but I'm pretty sure the "wing" on a Firebird/Formula coupe is molded into the hatch and cannot be un-bolted and replaced w/ a T43 spoiler from a T/A.

CompNine can provide an RPO listing from your VIN: http://www.compnine.com/vid.php

Is it possible your car is a Firehawk (R6V)? In '96 & '97 (at least), SLP made the T43 spoiler available on a Hawk, which were based on Formulas. CompNine shows that 33 of the 37 '96 Firehawk coupes, and 95 out of 101 '97 Firehawk coupes (R6V) came w/ the T43 spoiler. These would also have the W66 RPO for a Formula. It may be possible that SLP started offering this spoiler on '95s but the hatch swap may have been done at SLP after the car was assembled and therefore the hatch might not be reflected in the car's RPO listing.

FYI, the only thing the VIN by itself will indicate is if the car is a V6 or V8. Depending on what "service" "decodes" the VIN, it may indicate "Formula/Trans-Am" or just "Formula", because a T/A is simply a Formula w/ an aero trim & option package installed (front/rear facias, body sill mouldings, badges, other standard equipment). What the VIN will do is tie your car to a specific list of RPO codes for the equipment installed at the factory. That RPO list can only be provided (AFAIK) by a GM dealership (VIS) or a place like CompNine.

Don't think its a firehawk . I've got a R7N rpo code with no description on the rpo sheet . I don't see the rpo code for the up swept wing , so it has been changed .

If anyone sees anything cool on there feel free to point it out lol! A lot has been changed , the car was severally neglected and then brought back from the dead .

Nice looking Formula. Not sure what R7N is, but the rest of the RPOs indicate you have a 81U Bright Red Formula w/ an A4, Grahite cloth interior and T-tops. No T43 RPO indicates that the hatch w/ the up-lift T/A spoiler was added. Nothing wrong w/ that, looks nice. Even your rims look original.

Murd450

There isn't a whole lot left original under it lol!

ponchjoe

Ok, I think I came up with my car being 1 of 41 or...
I have a Black WS6 Formula M6 with traction control (why?) T-tops and cloth. What other info do you need to help me determine the number?
Thanks!
